Fluoropolymers Market Overview:

Global Fluoropolymers Market was valued at $5,404 million in 2015, and is expected to reach $9,034 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2016 to 2022. Fluoropolymers are fluorocarbon-based polymers, which consist of multiple strong carbon-fluorine bonds and are characterized by high resistance to acids, solvents, and bases. These are stable in nature due to the stability of multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. In addition, mechanically these polymers are characterized as thermosets or thermoplastics. Fluoropolymers are widely used in semiconductors, automotive, aircraft, and IT among other common household appliances. They offer several excellent characteristic properties such as low friction; non-adhesiveness; and chemical, weather, and heat resistance; along with superior electrical properties.
